I keep reading about the spam problem. Can't confirm that for me. I extremely rarely get spam in my inbox while on gmail I got about the same amounts but also quite a few false positives.

The mobile client: I don't know the iOS client but urgh. The Android FM client is pretty lame :D Luckily, I rarely use it.

I use next cloud for all docs, images, etc. and neither has an integration so that's a toss-up for me ;)

It's the false positives that make me worry the most about Gmail :\ I sometimes get personal emails from family shoved in the spam folder - they're in my contact book, they're starred, they're relatively frequent emailers in both directions... but still, in to spam you go.

The false-positives are usually so absurd, that I have to assume they have no boundaries for their ML-whatever. If it says spam because it has decided that contact books are only worth 90% positive signal, then into spam it goes. ML > any hard-coded rational decisions.

When you say gmail, do you mean gmail or g-suite? Because my gmail gets a lot of spam, but my g-suite doesn’t.

I meant gmail. I didn't even know there were differences like that between them. I think when I switched to FM, G-Suite was business only.

I think it’s mostly still business, but a lot of the things I do business wise correlate with a lot of things I do personally, so it blends together rather nice.

Now I prefer the mix, I can certainly understand people who prefer the separation.
